Synopsis
Excerpt from Economies in Maintenance of Way
As much labor is required to keep the track securely fastened down to gauge, so will much of that work be saved by the application of tie plates, which, while protecting the tie from being cut in, securely holds the track to gauge, and prevents the undulations due to cut ties and consequent lifting of spikes.
